PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 7122 PC RESO NO. 7122 -2- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Planning Commission APPROVES CT 14-06/HDP 14-05/HMP 15-03 – AFTON WAY based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: Findings: Tentative Tract Map, CT 14-06 1. That the proposed map and the proposed design and improvement of the subdivision as conditioned, is consistent with and satisfies all requirements of the General Plan, any applicable specific plans, Titles 20 and 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, and the State Subdivision Map Act, and will not cause serious public health problems, in that the proposed tentative tract map for eight (8) single-family lots, one (1) open space lot and one (1) detention basin implements the goals and policies of the General Plan as discussed in the staff report; is consistent with all minimum requirements of Title 20 and 21 governing lot size and configuration; and has been designed to comply with all applicable City regulations. 2. That the proposed project is compatible with the surrounding future land uses since surrounding properties are designated for residential development on the General Plan with comparable densities. 3. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of the development since the site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate residential development at the density proposed, in that all required development standards and design criteria required by the applicable zoning ordinances are incorporated into the project without the need for variances from development standards. 4. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements of record or easements established by court judgment, or acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision, in that the project has been designed and conditioned such that there are no conflicts with established easements. 5. That the property is not subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the Land Conservation Act of 1965 (Williamson Act). 6. That the design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision, in that the lots are oriented to allow for solar exposure and take advantage of prevailing breezes. 7. That the Planning Commission has considered, in connection with the housing which will ultimately be developed as a result of the proposed subdivision, that the housing needs of the region, and balanced those housing needs against the public service needs of the City and available fiscal and environmental resources. 8. That the design of the subdivision and improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, in that the project applicant is required to pay in-lieu mitigation fees for the removal of 0.18 acres of (0.5:1 ratio) and 0.91 acres of eucalyptus woodland (1:1 ratio). 9. That the discharge of waste from the subdivision will not result in violation of existing California Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements, in that the project has been designed in accordance with the Best Management Practices for water quality protection in accordance with the City’s sewer and drainage standards and the project is conditioned to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements. PC RESO NO. 7122 -3- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 10. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance with the Elements of the City’s General Plan, based on the facts set forth in the staff report dated September 2, 2015 including, but not limited to the following: a. Land Use – The General Plan Land Use designation for the project site is Residential, Low - Medium Density (RLM). The RLM designation allows for low to medium density residential development at 0 to 4 du/ac with a GMCP of 3.2 du/ac; which is used also for the purposes of calculating the city’s compliance with Government Code §65584. The project site has a net developable acreage of 4.21 acres allowing for 13.47 dwelling units to be developed at the GMCP. Given the required minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet, as well as and the constraints on the site, a total of 8 single-family residential parcels with an overall density of 1.9 du/ac can be accommodated, which is 5.47 units below the GMCP. Pursuant to Government Code §65863, the City may not reduce the residential density on any parcel below that which was used by the California Department of Housing and Community Development in determining compliance with Housing Element law, unless the City makes findings that the reduction of residential density is consistent with the adopted General Plan, including the Housing Element; and that the remaining sites identified in the Housing Element are adequate to accommodate the city’s share of the regional housing need pursuant to Government Code §65584. The project is consistent with the City’s General Plan since the proposed density of 1.9 du/ac is within the RLM density range of 0 to 4 du/ac as specified for the site. The project’s proposed density of 1.9 du/ac is below the GMCP density (3.2 du/ac) used for the purposes of calculating the city’s compliance with Government Code §65584. However, consistent with Program 3.2 of the city’s Certified Housing Element, all of the dwelling units which were anticipated toward achieving the city’s share of the regional housing need that are not utilized by developers in approved projects are deposited into the City’s Excess Dwelling Unit Bank. These excess dwelling units are available for allocation to other projects. Accordingly, there is no net loss of residential unit capacity and there are adequate properties identified in the Housing Element allowing residential development with a unit capacity adequate to satisfy the city’s share of the regional housing need. Therefore, 5.47 dwelling units will be deposited into the city’s excess dwelling unit bank. b. Housing – The project is consistent with the Housing Element of the General Plan and the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance in that the developer has been conditioned to enter into an Affordable Housing Agreement to construct one (1) second dwelling unit on-site. c. Circulation – The proposed project includes the extension of Afton Way, which currently terminates approximately 170 feet from the intersection with Celinda Drive to the east. As part of the proposed project, Afton Way will be extended an additional 175 feet to the west and will terminate at a proposed cul-de-sac. Afton Way is currently improved with a curb and gutter on both sides and a sidewalk on the south side. The proposed extension of Afton Way includes a curb, gutter and a sidewalk on both sides and around the perimeter of the cul-de-sac. The circulation system has been designed in conformance with Land Development Engineering Division and Fire Department design standards and complies with all other applicable City design standards. d. Noise – The project site is impacted by noise from traffic on Carlsbad Village Drive. Pursuant to a site-specific Noise Study prepared by Dudek, dated March 4, 2015, with the incorporation of a six (6) foot- tall sound wall around the northern perimeter of Lots 7 and 8 (at the top of the slope) into the grading design, the project will comply with the PC RESO NO. 7122 -4- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 exterior noise standard of 60 dB(A). In addition, to ensure the future residential units comply with the interior noise standard of 45 dB(A) CNEL, the project is conditioned to complete an interior noise study for Lots 7 and 8 prior to the issuance of the building permits for the homes. e. Public Safety – The project is required to install fire hydrants and a turn-around area at the terminus of the driveway for Lot 3, consistent with Fire Department regulations. f. Open Space and Conservation - The project applicant is required to pay in-lieu mitigation fees for the removal of 0.18 acres of disturbed, unoccupied Diegan coastal sage scrub, 1.27 acres of non-native grassland and 0.91 acres of eucalyptus woodland. In addition, an open space easement will be recorded over Lot 10 which will preclude future development on this parcel. 11. That the street systems serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use, in that primary access to the site will be provided by an extension of Afton Way, which will be improved with a curb, gutter and sidewalk around the perimeter of the cul-de-sac. Access to proposed Lots 2, 3 and 7 will be provided by panhandles which meet the minimum standards pursuant to CMC Chapter 21.06. The proposed project will generate a total of 70 net new Average Daily Trips (ADTs) for the new single-family homes. In addition, the proposed project would not result in any significant capacity-related impacts to any road segments or intersections in the vicinity of the project site. Hillside Development Permit, HDP 14-05 12. That hillside conditions and undevelopable areas of the site have been properly identified on the constraints map, including the existing floodway, sensitive habitat, existing and proposed topographical contours and slope gradients. 13. That the development proposal is consistent with the intent, purpose, and requirements of the Hillside Ordinance, Chapter 21.95, in that the grading proposed in conjunction with the creation of the subdivision results in a total of 17,000 cubic yards of cut and 6,900 cubic yards of fill. Therefore, a total of 10,100 cubic yards is proposed to be exported from the site. Due to the sloped nature of the property, a mixture of 2:1 cut and fill slopes are proposed to create each of the building pads. To support several of the cut slopes and to accommodate flat building pads, retaining walls up to five (5) feet in height are proposed at the base of the cut slopes. In addition, a series of tiered retaining walls up to eight (8) feet in height are proposed on Lot 9 which will be developed with the detention basin. Landscaping is proposed at the base of the walls to screen the views of the walls from Carlsbad Village Drive. The grading design is consistent with the intent of the Hillside Ordinance, Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 21.95, since the proposal includes 2:1 (minimum) slopes which will be contour graded, where practicable. In addition, the slopes do not exceed a height of 40 feet and the proposed quantity of grading, 5,059 cubic yards per acre, falls within the “acceptable” range, 0-7,999 cubic yards per acre . . . . . . PC RESO NO. 7122 -5- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 14. That the alteration of natural hillsides will be done in an environmentally sensitive manner whereby lagoons and riparian ecosystems will be protected from increased erosion and no substantial impacts to natural resource areas, wildlife habitats or native vegetation will occur in that the project applicant is required to pay in-lieu mitigation fees for the removal of 0.18 acres of disturbed, unoccupied Diegan coastal sage scrub (1:1 ratio), 1.27 acres of non-native grassland (0.5:1 ratio) and 0.91 acres of eucalyptus woodland (1:1 ratio). 15. That the project design substantially conforms to the intent of the concepts illustrated in the Hillside Development Guidelines Manual, in that the manufactured slopes will have varying gradients, will be contour-graded, and will be landscaped pursuant to the City’s Landscape Manual and Habitat Management Plan. The combined effect will soften the appearance of the graded slopes. Habitat Management Plan Permit, HMP 15-03 16. That APNs 167-531-45 and 167-250-06 of the Afton Way project are shown in Figure 28 of the approved HMP as a “Development Areas.” 17. That authorization to impact sensitive habitats through the removal of 0.18 acres of disturbed, unoccupied Diegan coastal sage scrub (Habitat Group D), 1.27 acres of non-native grassland (Habitat Group E) and 0.91 acres of eucalyptus woodland (Habitat Group F) is subject to continuous compliance with all provisions of the Habitat Management Plan for Natural Communities in the City of Carlsbad (HMP), the Citywide Incidental Take Permit issued for the HMP, the Implementing Agreement, the Terms and Conditions of the Incidental Take Permit, and the Biological Opinion. 18. That authorization to impact sensitive habitats is subject to continuous compliance with the provisions of Volumes I, II and III of the Multiple Habitat Conservation Program and the Final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report for Threatened and Endangered Species Due to Urban Growth within the Multiple Habitat Conservation Program Planning Area (SCH No. 93121073). 19. That all impacts to habitat and all take of species will be incidental to otherwise lawful activities related to construction of the Afton Way project. 20. That the project design as approved by the City of Carlsbad has avoided and minimized impacts to wildlife habitat and species of concern to the maximum extent practicable. Specifically, 0.18 acres of disturbed, unoccupied Diegan coastal sage scrub (Habitat Group D), 1.27 acres of non- native grassland (Habitat Group E) and 0.91 acres of eucalyptus woodland (Habitat Group F) will be removed and mitigated through the payment of an in-lieu mitigation fee as required pursuant to the HMP. In addition, mitigation measures have been included which prevent negative effects on the adjacent sensitive habitat which include: erosion control; landscaping; fencing, signage, and lighting; and predator and exotic species control. 21. That adequate funding has been provided to address changed circumstances and adaptive management needs that may be reasonably anticipated in the future, consistent with the HMP Implementing Agreement. 22. That the authorization to impact sensitive habitats as a result of the project will not appreciably reduce the likelihood of survival and recovery of the species in the wild due to compliance with all of the above stated requirements, as well as ongoing monitoring and reporting to the wildlife agencies and the public. PC RESO NO. 7122 -6- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 23. That the City Planner is authorized to sign the Take Permit. 24. The Planning Commission hereby finds that all development in Carlsbad benefits from the Habitat Management Plan, which is a comprehensive conservation plan and implementation program that will facilitate the preservation of biological diversity and provide for effective protection and conservation of wildlife and plant species while continuing to allow compatible development in accordance with Carlsbad’s Growth Management Plan. Preservation of wildlife habitats and sensitive species is required by the Open Space and Conservation Element of the City’s General Plan which provides for the realization of the social, economic, aesthetic and environmental benefits from the preservation of open space within an increasingly urban environment. Moreover, each new development will contribute to the need for additional regional infrastructure that, in turn, will adversely impact species and habitats. The In-Lieu Mitigation Fee imposed on all new development within the City is essential to fund implementation of the City’s Habitat Management Plan. California Environmental Quality Act: 25. The City Planner has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that the State Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the environment, and it is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15332 of the State CEQA Guidelines as an infill development project. In making this determination, the City Planner has found that the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the State CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project. General 26. The project is consistent with the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1 and all City public facility policies and ordinances. The project includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or provide funding to ensure that all facilities and improvements regarding sewer collection and treatment; water; drainage; circulation; fire; schools; parks and other recreational facilities; libraries; government administrative facilities; and open space, related to the project will be installed to serve new development prior to or concurrent with need. Specifically, a. The project has been conditioned to provide proof from the Carlsbad Unified School District that the project has satisfied its obligation for school facilities. b. Park-in-lieu fees are required by Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 20.44, and will be collected prior to issuance of building permit. c. The Public Facility fee is required to be paid by Council Policy No. 17 and will be collected prior to the issuance of building permit. 27. The project has been conditioned to pay any increase in public facility fee, or new construction tax, or development fees, and has agreed to abide by any additional requirements established by a Local Facilities Management Plan prepared pursuant to Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. This will ensure continued availability of public facilities and will mitigate any cumulative impacts created by the project. PC RESO NO. 7122 -7- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 28. This project has been conditioned to comply with any requirement approved as part of the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1. 29. That all necessary public facilities required by the Growth Management Ordinance will be constructed or are guaranteed to be constructed concurrently with the need for them created by this project and in compliance with adopted City standards. 30. That the project is consistent with the City’s Landscape Manual and Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 18.50). 31. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed to mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
